Many people consider winter as an off-season for weddings when it is the opposite. People prefer it not just because of the dreamy frosted theme but also because winter fashion is rich and deep. Although the dress code and colors are restrictive for the bride and groom, you, as a winter wedding guest, can benefit from winter weddings.

Now you must be wondering what to wear to a winter wedding; Australia and such areas celebrate their winter weddings without any compromise on their dress. Their wedding guests wear all sorts of dresses that offer full coverage for the cooler weather, as well as mini dresses. Below we have mentioned a few winter wedding guest dresses that won't cost you a million bucks and make you look fashion-forward.

1.  Tulle Mini Dress

The first winter wedding guest dress on our list is a tulle mini dress. It might not offer that extra warmth, but it sure will slay the party without stealing the bride's thunder on her big day. The tulle mini dress features a contrasting waistband over tying multiple frills of tulle. This strapless mini dress goes well with sheer as well as fishnet stockings. If you're styling the dress with bare legs, put on some strappy heels, and you'll smoothly pull off the viral Kendall Jenner Cannes look.

2.  Slip Dress

A silky slip dress is the best wedding guest outfit out there. Look for a slip dress in jewel tones like sapphire, ruby, or emerald that complement the silk fabric. Make sure the dress features a sexy side slit for that oomph factor. Since the overall dress is plain yet chic, pair it up with minimal-shoulder duster earrings and a messy bun. Throw a black faux fur jacket over your arms and waist for a bougie look. As for the makeup, you're allowed to darken your lips but stay low on the rest of it.

3.  One-Shoulder Asymmetrical Gown

Asymmetrical body-fitted gowns never disappoint, especially silk ones that make the perfect winter wedding guest dresses. Add a one-shoulder neckline to it, and it'll make you look like the most easily dressed or effortlessly gorgeous person in the crowd. The asymmetrical hemline of these gowns makes them simply beautiful if paired with slingback heels. Add statement earrings and a sleek bun to dope the outfit.

4.  Sequin Bow Midi Dress

Winter glam doesn't come easy unless you're wearing sequins. A silver sequin midi dress screams party, and if paired with a bow, it pops out. Try a one-shoulder neckline with this midi dress to highlight the ruffles rather than its sleeves. You can either wear your hair down or wrap them in a low messy ponytail. Since sequins are never enough, go all out with your eye makeup and top off the look with nude lips. Also, add peep-toe heels or stilettos to complete your wedding plus holiday look. 

5.  Retro Velvet Dress

If you're looking for a modest wedding guest dress that doesn't look archaic, you should try the retro velvet dress. It is warm, stylish, and unforgettable, especially if you opt for a deep ruby shade. Dazzle the old Hollywood look with a broad V-neck that highlights your beauty bones and leg of mutton sleeves with ruffles for that dramatic look. Put on some crystals and diamonds with well-done makeup and peep-toe heels.

6.  A-line Pleated Gown

Finding a safe option for a winter wedding or holiday party can be tough, which is when the A-line pleated gown comes to the rescue. A halter neckline with no sleeves in dark hues would take this design to the next level. Although the chiffon material might fail at keeping you cozy, you can always style the dress with a fur coat. You can pull off this look with straight hair, bracelets, earrings, some fancy headpiece, and cutout heels.

7.  Lace Maxi Dress

When in doubt, wear black, and what better way to slay in black than a black maxi dress of lace? We recommend going with either a backless, sweetheart neckline dress with off-shoulder long sleeves or skipping the back and sleeves for dramatic off-shoulder bishop sleeves. Pair this outfit with either a messy bun or a braid, and wear minimal gold jewelry. Also, apply bright red lipstick with this look, and your wedding guest outfit will slay the event.

8.  Cutout Cocktail Midi Dress

A cocktail midi dress is all you need to set the dance floor on fire. Look for such midi dresses with a waist cutout and one-shoulder necklines to add depth to the outfit. Silk would go best with this design, considering how plush and glossy it is. Outdo this look with open-toe block heels and chunky earrings with minimal makeup and hair.

9.  Wrap Ruched Bodycon Maxi Dress

Velvet is a staple fabric for winter wedding dresses, as it keeps you warm and is stylish. This season, try a wrap-ruched bodycon maxi dress in a wine-red color as your winter wedding guest dress. A plunging neck and long sleeves would do great with this dress combo, as it will balance the look. Style this velvet dress with heeled boots, minimal accessories, and casually wavy hair.

10.  Tie Waist Mini Dress

A tie waist mini dress in the color brown red is made for the winter wedding season and holiday parties. This dress goes best with rich fabrics like satin and silk, which might make it hard for you to stay warm, but they offer the perfect fit. We recommend choosing long serves with this outfit because it highlights the scrunched-up waist. Style this casual winter attire with stilettos and loose hair, and feel free to skip a necklace.

Conclusion:

So on your next winter wedding, skip those extravagant designer dresses and choose a winter wedding guest outfit from the list above. Be it a midi dress or mini dress, there's nothing you can't pull off at a formal winter event. All you need to focus on is the silhouette that works best for your body and the way you style your winter formals.
